Rescue Leaf is a non-profit project that aims to utilize legal sales
of cannabis and related edibles to deliver continual sustainable
funding in support of the next generation of innovative animal
sheltering programs while helping BOTH people and pets!

Rescue Leaf will be partnering with cannabis farmers and producers of
related edibles to offer the best cannabis products in our Rescue Leaf
retail locations, serving legal recreational and medicinal cannabis use.

This crowdfunding campaign aims to bring together 5 groups of people
who have never been called together before to create a large scale
positive impact for both people and pets:

Those who support the legal use of cannabis

Those who support delivering progressive animal sheltering
solutions for the next generation of animal shelters

Those who wish to increase animal therapy and service dog options
for children and adults in need

Those who wish to increase local employment options through new
job training and placement opportunities and

Those who wish to help reduce recidivism in non-violent offenders
in America and improve recovery.

Rescue Leaf revenue will be utilized to fund high impact projects
across the country including:

Many other innovative animal shelter and rescue group programs
across the United States.

Matching and training appropriate shelter dog candidates for
therapy and service dog work to better meet the needs of children
and adults in need.

Job training programs including retail, marketing, management,
hospitality/restaurant management, animal care and dog training. We
will give 1st hiring priority to those who have completed our job
training programs but we will also fund a job placement office to
expand options for those who have completed our job training programs.

Meaningful educational, job training and therapy programs to help
reduce recidivism in every city where our projects are located. We
did a small pilot program with the New Mexico Corrections Dept and
it was a success. When offenders had the opportunity to work
with dogs in need, we saw the transformation of many of the
offenders right in front of our eyes. A large number of shelter
dogs across America are living impounded and incarcerated as if
they had committed a crime. Our program transfers dogs out of that
high stress environment. The offenders earn the privilege to work
with the dogs and relate to our rescue dogs stories of
incarceration and redemption. In return, the offenders receive
unconditional love from the dogs and an opportunity to prove
trustworthiness and develop a sense of pride, accomplishment and
giving back to society through working with our dogs. We have
identified areas where to expand and improve upon from the pilot
program and are excited for the opportunity to create a much
larger positive impact.

The funds you donate via this crowdfunding campaign help us to cover
start-up costs in laying the groundwork to legally open dispensaries
and retail locations in 5 states to begin with. Our start-up costs
include legal and accounting fees, licensing fees, inventory fees and
location rental initial deposits and rents and location build
out/construction. Everyone can donate to this campaign no matter where
you live and the perks/thank you gifts we provide to those supporting
this project will be delivered at the 1st opportunity to do so.

you gift in exchange for your donation, please click here. Donations made

Rescue Leaf is a project of New Mexico Pets Alive/NextGen Shelter
Project, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable organization celebrating
its 6th year anniversary in January 2017. During that time we have
assisted over 3,400 healthy and treatable dog and cats in need that
had no other lifesaving options via medical, behavioral and adoption
placement programs and we assisted almost the same number of people in
need. All contributions made to our organization are tax deductible to
the fullest extent of the law. All of us here at New Mexico Pets
Alive/NextGen Shelter Project, including the people and the healthy
and treatable at-risk shelter pets in need we assist, sincerely
appreciate your support of the Rescue Leaf project fundraiser in order
to build capacity to exponentially increase the number of people and
pets we are able to help across the country.
